After the Election: Germany Will Continue to Obstruct Global Economic Rebalancing

Author: Sebastian Dullien

Dr. Sebastian Dullien, Senior Non-resident Fellow and professor at the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin, argues that Germany has been one of the main causes for global imbalances and has not been very constructive in global economic cooperation. Dr. Dullien writes that the world should continue to expect this sort of behavior from the world’s third-largest economy, no matter who wins the upcoming election, as the likely coalition possibilities will not change the macroeconomic debates.
